Last year was the first time the club had taken part in the league since 2021 and it was hugely successful season with a number of young players gaining valuable experience at the same time as the squad achieving a fourth place finish. There was also a silver lining to the season with the team claiming the Sunday League T20 crown in late September, and they will be looking to defend that title in 2026. They have been put in a three team group for that format, alongside Harold Wood and Scintilla, with the top team from each group advancing to the final.
Fixture information for both competitions will be available over the coming weeks.
